Snoring is like when you're trying to drink through a straw that's been squished. When we sleep, sometimes our throat gets a little squishy, and air can't pass through smoothly, this makes a loud noise! Light sleepers might snore less because their throat isn’t as relaxed, but deep sleepers are more likely to snore because they're totally out of it. Snoring is just the sound of air fighting its way through our sleepy throats.
Examples
